Made with the rainbow yarn we dyed last week..

Pay it forward... sure, why not!?

A friend of mine posted a Pay It Forward blog post, so I replied and I am posting the same.

Some of my home made goodies...

Lovely crafty wooly goodness!

I spent a lovely day with my friend Amber learning to hand dye wool. Amber has taken two skeins to knit our soon to arrive wee one some gorgeous things and she has most generously left me with two to knit up myself. I am lucky enough to score the rainbow one and the blue/green one on the right of the bottom photo. 

Molly and Amber's two small people ran riot in the house and yard while we worked in the kitchen "cooking" the wool. Molly is now passed out with fatigue after a busy day. 

I feel so blessed to have a lovely friend like Amber who so generously shares her skills (and wool!)..

:)

Happy
